What negative degrees?

We had a winter storm roll through over the weekend and during the first part of the week. The temperatures were dipping below zero and the wind chill was going MUCH lower! On Monday we HAD to get outside! We had been cooped up and only left for a few hours on Saturday to go to the pottery shop and work on some unfinished projects with my friend Carolyn.
Mia wanted to play in the snow so badly, so I put a good three layers beneath her snowsuit, wrapped a scarf around her face and grabbed the sled! It was about 6 degrees I believe, so we didn't stay outside long, just enough to get a few good runs down the hill at the playground and check the mail.

This could be a scene straigt out of A Christmas Story!

5" in this particular spot

MUCH more than 5" here! The snow was blowing into foot high drifts right here.

Down she goes!

You can't really see, but she's giggling!
